此處に書くは蓋󠄂し久しき哉。今茲󠄂學業の怱怱なれども之を進むるに甚だし有意義にして樂し。偖今夏何をかせるに答へは幾󠄄つあり。其最初は電氣回路の基本之を溫故知新をす。所要時間は數週󠄃閒󠄃なりき。爾後微分積分と線形代數學との溫習󠄃之を行ふ。所要時間は數箇月󠄃なりき（時閒󠄃の殆どは微分積分にあり）。 是以外は參箇課程󠄃、卽ち法律と倫理、包容性設計、而して工學領導なり。約󠄃說するに此課程󠄃等の余に含蓄󠄂のある內容を與へ（單位も言はずもがな）、而して余の好果を示したり。法律と倫理の內容は蠟を嚼(か)むが如くが、此智識󠄂の至極重要󠄃なるをば否定せず。包容性設計の課程󠄃は奇しくも數學を使はずしてチームの重要性を余をして改めて理解せしめたりき。工學領導の主󠄃要󠄃なる作業は執筆にして一切數字を目擊せざりき。然し作業量は尠からず（此課程󠄃に於いて讀書量多大なりき）。 以上。

日󠄂本語の文󠄃體は數少からず。其內如何でか今世こそ殆使󠄃はざる文󠄃語體にて起󠄃筆せむかと。我却りて讀者に問はむ：如何でか高校に折角敎へられたる古文󠄃を活用せぬかと。 文󠄃語體（普通󠄃文󠄃とも稱せらる）の作文󠄃は現代に於て氣息奄々として甚だ見苦し。剩へ今人の多きは戰前󠄃の口語體の書を讀めば多大なる註釋なくずば解すること能はじ。 無論、文󠄃語體は猶󠄅俳句等の分󠄃野にて謂はゞ藝󠄂術󠄃品（或は骨董󠄂品）として存續せるが、疇昔と比較せば蛻の殼に過󠄃ぎず。我言ふに此事情極めて遺󠄃憾なれば自ら文󠄃語體、而して口語體を兩方以て禿筆を呵さむとするなり。幸ひ「文󠄃語の苑󠄃」といふ協會は今も猶󠄅あれば文󠄃語體の作文󠄃に關心ある好學の士あるめり。若󠄃し日󠄂本に住まば此協會と國語問題協議會と共に入會せむと欲す。
All images from Wikipedia “Hanayama Dam” Another dam project, this time on the Hanayama Dam in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. This project is probably the longest article I have translated so far and had a few challenges, notably finding appropriate English terms, that had to be surmounted.

本論に這入る前󠄃に、豫め明󠄃記せざるべからざる留意點あり： １）文󠄃語體にせよ、口語體にせよ、本サイトの表記は原則として歷史󠄃的󠄃假名遣󠄃と正字（卽ち舊󠄂字體）を以て書くものとす。理由は諸〻なれど極論せば此書き方を好むなり。 ２）文󠄃語體にて文󠄃を作るは慣れずして拙作に於て誤󠄄謬の恐󠄃れあり。然樣御承知被下度候。 閑話休題、焉んぞ日󠄂本語、況んや文󠄃語體にて此論を書かむや。抑〻何ゆゑ日󠄂本語をば勉强したるか。何となれば日󠄂本語の稟質の、特立して他言語の及び得ざる美點を嗟歎せざるべからざればなり。言ふなれば日󠄂本語の風流なる響󠄊き、其言語に纏る深邃なる文󠄃化󠄃、而して其字（詰り漢字と假名）の甘美なる調󠄃和を元來痛感しつつ、如何でか我心を醺醉して魅了せざるや。無論勉强の權󠄂輿は專󠄂ら現代日󠄂本語なれども、然る後古文󠄃書（卽ち普通󠄃文󠄃と稱せらるゝもの）を閱讀し始め、竟に文󠄃語體の作文󠄃に食指が動ければ此文󠄃章を書かむとせり。

All images from Wikipedia “Futai Dam” Another day another dam. Wait, that’s not how the saying goes. In any case, it seems I like doing dams as well as pottery articles! We’ll see how the trend goes from here, but this time sees me doing a volunteer Wikipedia article about Futai Dam in Niigata Prefecture, …
Image from Kuribayashi While I never anticipated translating another article about pottery so soon, here I am. This article is about Akogi ware (阿漕焼 Akogi-yaki), a type of pottery near Mie, Japan. While not having as long of a history as my previous article on Akazu ware, the project was still very enjoyable to do. …
All images from the “SCP Foundation” Wikidot service A work of fiction, yet still using technical terms. What an interesting change of pace! This piece of work not only saw me using technical terminology, it also saw me playing around with Wikidot’s (a wiki service much like Wikipedia) formatting structure, similar but in many ways different …
All images from Wikipedia “Chiya Dam” Dams. Certainly not the most glamorous subject, but still quite the feat of engineering! This project saw me volunteer translate on Wikipedia an article about Chiya Dam in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Lakeside perspective of the dam Who Gives a Dam? Dams are a new area of translating for me, and this …
